To JS -
    Yes, that was our experience too.  Five or six years ago when our boys
were in high school and Rocky was in her prime, they and their friends
bought a mouse (25 cents if I remember), and carried it up to their room and
put both Rocky and the mouse together in an 'aquarium'.:(   Rocky looked at
the mouse, killed it with a single bite, and then looked back at the kids as
if to say "This is some kind of a trick question, right?"  She wasn't the
least bit interested in the corpse, either.
 
    Not at all like most cats who actually PLAY with their food, or treat it
as a sporting event.  Ferrets make very efficient mousers and I understand
that they have been used for this since the middle ages or before.
